Validation of a flow cytometry‐based detection of γ‐H2AX, to measure DNA damage for clinical applications
10 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The nucleosomal histone protein H2AX is specifically phosphorylated (γ-H2AX) adjacent to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and is used for quantifying DSBs. Many chemotherapies and ionizing radiation (IR) used in cancer treatment result in DSBs. Therefore, γ-H2AX has a significant potential as a biomarker in evaluating patient sensitivity and responsiveness to IR and chemotherapy. METHODS: Here, we...
